"The minute you move from being a task-oriented professional to being a manager of people, it stops being about your individual talents, your successes, and starts being all about coaching, motivating, teaching, supporting, removing roadblocks, and finding resources for your employees. Leadership is about celebrating their victories and rewarding them; helping them analyze when things don’t go to plan. Their successes become your successes. Their failures are yours, too. Too many people today think leading is exclusively about their own performance."
Robert Joss

“Leadership is solving problems, and the day people stop bringing you their problems is the day you stop leading.”
Colin Powell

“What you are shouts so loudly in my ears, I cannot hear what you say.”
